HBO vs. SHOWTIME

[Tha Greatest]

the cool thing about sho time is they dont make fights like castillo vs corrales ppvs...the bad thing is they always make tyson a ppv

agreed, and the Chavez fight is ppv lol

True

Showtime have quality fights each month but I hope they can throw more instead of every 1st saturday of the month

but there have been some ****ty cards this year on hbo

toney-ruiz,gatti,pbf,vargas lol

what's wrong with gatti-pbf anyway?

[scottydottie]

hahaha yes....that is true...i do not get why they make tyson fights ppv. I already know the outcome of his next fight so i dont think i will be paying. So here is a litte spoiler....

Tyson KO1 Mcbride


but then again...a lot of people will pay to see him so theres a smart move on showtime's part. People pay to watch him because whenever he fights, the unexpected occurs.

I was talkin about the hbo events so far this year


One was Gatti-Leija, n the other was Mayweather-Bruseles which both ******

Gatti-Mayweather should be interesting...

HBO is having too many lopsided showcase type fights(Vargas,Bitchko etc.).They even made Barrera-Fana a PPV event,LMAO!Showtime is putting together more competitive fight cards and televise atleast two fights per week.I'm starting to think HBO boxing is the reason that Boxing has reached a low point in popularity the past few years.

Barrera Fana was a Golden Boy Promotions event. Golden Boy paid HBO to produce the fight, same as Don King does on most occasions.

I said on my own HBO vs Showtime thread that showtime IMO has more competetive matches than HBO and that is Showtime's best quality. HBO does tend to shelter somewhat the fighters they sign to big contracts. Showtime matches their guys up against alot better opposition like you saw tonight, Castillo is contracted to fight for Showtime.

But HBO's production values are alot better that is why promoters pay HBO to produce their fights for them.
